P.A.M. Transport...

I now have a new mission in life after seeing the inhumane screw job my brother recently took with this company. They succeeded in forcing him into bankruptcy after weeky paychecks of $37.00, $101.00, and $13.00. An ex-driver myself, I understand slow periods and bad days but this company should be put out of business! I vow to get the word out and sincerely hope others don't make the same mistake and fall victim to their BS promises.

 

Please elaborate.Did they give him any reasons for no work?How long has he been with them?

 

Would love to hear both sides of this story from the company and the actual driver.

 

Like most in Michigan, my brother had fallen victim to a pretty lousy economy and enrolled in the C-1 driver school in Fort Wayne, IN under the sponsorship of PAM. Once all the preliminaries were over, ie; school orientation, running with a trainer, thats when the trouble began. From sitting for days on end to having loads pulled from him while enroute, it did not take him long to realize that he was paying to work for them. I could tell you many more horror stories but I suggest that you do your research if you are considering taking the plunge. I know it is tough for new drivers but I have to believe you can get your experience under much better circumstances. Good luck to you!

 

Thanks for the update willie

 

Sorry to hear that. Your "mission" is what this site is all about. I, too, had the same "mission" (thanks to 3 wks w/JB Hunt) when starting this site and we TRY to keep people from going through what your brother went through BEFORE they even start...some simply won't look for this site until AFTER it happens to them. All we all can do is keep on trying. Welcome, we appreciate you wanting to help others see the reality of the trucking industry!

 

Some of you Know me, and what has happen a few months ago. I Have read there DAC and looking into PAM Transport by reading what all my fellow Trucking brothers & sisters are writting. I can't seem to really understand all the political issues with the Company.Please Inlighten me Quickly before I take another leap of Faith in H*ll. So half or 3/4 of my fellow brothers & sisters out their are saying that their is No set miles Per Week , I might be running 500 or no more then 3000 a week with PAM?

I am coming back and don't think any company will hire my butt after the Bad Accident a few months ago, its not reported on my Dac, But nightmares are at peace...

I respect all of you, cause in a sense your My Eyes and Ears about something I know little about, and this Company PAM is one of them, I can not afford long layovers/miles since I am like all of you , I have a Wife and Children and House payment & Bills. Please any Positive Or Neg issues with this Company Let Me know Now...

Thank You
